Message: <blockquote data-quote="leoricketts" data-source="post: 867623" data-attributes="member: 140991">Hello all. I'm a Type 2 on insulin living in Haringey Borough in North London. It seems from my enquiries that the only way to dispose of my full sharps bins is to use the collection service operated by Veolia on behalf of Haringey Council.I'm loathed to carry on using their service as it's so unreliable and unpredictable. My first bin took several months to arrive, and the subsequent collection happened a week before it was booked to and I wasn't in. Veolia's advice if I'm not going to be in? Leave it in the front garden! A full sharps bin!I would much prefer to drop my full bins somewhere myself, but it seems that in Haringey you can't take them to doctor's surgeries, chemists or hospitals, as I believe you can elsewhere in the country. You can only use this rather chaotic service.Does anybody else have problems disposing of their sharps in this area? Any recommendations as to what else I can do?Many thanks!</blockquote>
